Boss insisted on tracking “every single task.” So I include “adjust chair” and “blink.” Individually. For two weeks.

My boss decided we weren’t being “transported” enough with our time. New policy: log every single task we do, no exceptions.

So I did.

• Log in

• Open Outlook

• Adjust chair

• Blink

• Sip water

Scroll one line Each logged. Separately. Repeatedly.

After two weeks, he pulled me aside. “Why is your log 17 pages”

I said, “You said every task. These are the task.”

The next day, the policy quietly change to “track key deliverables only.” RIP, blink log. Gone but not forgotten.
